Produced by Creator/StevenSpielberg and Creator/DreamWorks, ''Invasion America'' was a prime-time animated TV drama, an {{animesque}} {{miniseries}} about [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin aliens invading America]]. ''Invasion America'' was created primarily to cash in on the late-1990s paranormal craze that ''Series/TheXFiles'' created. It wasn't particularly popular with audiences, and aired only one season before ending inconclusively. It is notable for being one of the very few animated adult dramas produced in the United States (the only others, as of 2022, are ''WesternAnimation/AeonFlux'', ''WesternAnimation/ToddMcFarlanesSpawn'', ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheNewAnimatedSeries'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Primal}}''). It wasn't originally planned as an adult series, however, having originally been intended for Creator/KidsWB.
